CVC stands for consonant vowel consonant. These are three letter words. They will have a short vowel sound in the middle.

You will often hear the terms short a, short e, short i, short o and short u when teachers are talking about word work.

This specific set of books includes all short vowels. This means that many of the words in these readers will have a consonant, a vowel and then a final consonant.

About these CVC Phonics Booklets

These mini booklets contain beginning sight words along with short vowel words. The result is simple, repetitive texts that are good for beginning readers.

Along with the simple sentences at the top, children will find illustrations for coloring.

At the bottom of each page, there are directions to encourage children to process and interact with the text.

For example, in the Animals booklet, children will color the pictures. Students will then circle the CVC words they find in the reading.
